Biography

My discipline lays somewhere between economic geography and development studies. I currently study the problematic entanglements between entrepreneurship and global health. In my recent PhD thesis in development geography with the Université de Paris and the Cessma, I questioned the role of India’s small businesses in the emergence of their domestic pharmaceutical industry and access to generic medicine in poor countries. I am currently investigating the challenges besetting production and access to generic biopharmaceuticals (biosimilars) across India and South Africa.
